Sometimes I give sometimes I don't. It depends I guess. But once I hand over that money, they can do whatever they want with it. I hold no disillusions of dictating what another does.
Panhandling is an art in some of the major cities although I must say the one's on the east coast tend to be more talented or work harder at it than the lazy bums on the west coast.
I remember the panhandler in Boston who were chess whiz's or would play an instrument very well at the very least. But the one's in LA are just lazy it seems. The one's in Melrose are very aggressive and "demand" money for more tattoos, body piercings and their cell phone bills. I once asked one to at least sing a song or dance a jig and they got all huffy with me.
Oh my favorite is if you offer to buy them a sandwich or a coffee, they get all picky and stuff. I had one throw the sandwich back at me cause it wasn't on wheat bread and had yellow mustard not brown mustard.
